Anecdotes Of tho Battle Field, the

March.
From Atlanta to the Sea.
BY VETERAN.

There's q brave, grand page, old comrades
In the book OF that wondrous time,
And I vainly strive to tell it
In limping, hating rhymeS
For the song will fail and stumble,
The words are dull n slow
To tell how we marched from Atlanta dowr
To the sea, with Sherman, you know!
They say there were other leaders
Could ave planned it as we'll as he;
That 1t wasn't much of q laurel
In the cap of Billy T.
But he was the General did it,
And history will agree
Twas a wonderful march we took that time,
Through Georgia to the sea.
You could see the long blue columns,
Miles Of them, stretching away,
In the free route-step, through forest and
plain,
Day after day.
And when night came b heavens,
Far as you could see,
Were rudy with the glowing fires
OF Union and Liberty.
How we sang and laughed Ground them,
How we talked of the days gone by,
OF the comrades who had fallen,
OF the end that we knew was night
How we Justify cheered the Union.
How we shouted our fill
For that glorious Commander,
Our own Uncle Bill!
All, we'll, it's good to remember
How that resistless host
Marched from the mountains on~
To the Atlantic coast.
How we nimbly bridged the rivers,
How we scattered the enemy,
As, like O pillar of cloud and fire,
We journeyed down-to the sea!
